This Muppet Christmas special from 1987 makes for an entertaining 47 minutes and that comes from somebody who's never really been too big on the Muppets. It had parts that really make me laugh and others that didn't really engage me at all. One of its strengths is certainly that it really includes almost everybody from the Muppet universe. It's a valid criticism for many Christmas specials that they leave out certain beloved characters, but not so this one. Whoever you favorite Muppet is, they will be included.
I especially liked the cinema scene where they watch a video from when they were baby Muppets together. It touched me to watch them sing "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". From the emotional perspective, I also liked how Kermit kept worrying about Miss Piggy, although I've never really been a fan of her and how the cook enters his view of Big Bird as the Christmas meal after they sing together. Maureen the mink, the interaction between the two dogs and some other scenes provide nice comedic value and as a whole I recommend this short film. It has some nice Christmas numbers (the only one I didn't like was the rock version of Jingle Bells, should have gone on like it started with the two frogs singing) performed by the gang that will certainly get you into the mood for the holidays and I loved how harmonic the ending was. Recommended.
